Initial conditions of bulk matter in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions
J. Scott Moreland
Dynamical models based on relativistic fluid dynamics provide a powerful tool to extract the properties of the strongly-coupled quark-gluon plasma (QGP) produced by ultrarelativist…
Estimating initial state and quark-gluon plasma medium properties using a hybrid model with nucleon substructure calibrated to -Pb and Pb-Pb collisions at TeV
J. Scott Moreland, Jonah E. Bernhard, Steffen A. Bass
We posit a unified hydrodynamic and microscopic description of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) produced in ultrarelativistic -Pb and Pb-Pb collisions at …
Estimating nucleon substructure properties in a unified model of p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions
J. Scott Moreland, Jonah E. Bernhard, Steffen A. Bass
We apply a well tested hybrid transport model, which couples viscous hydrodynamics to a hadronic afterburner, to describe bulk observables in proton-lead and lead-lead collisions a…
Flow in small and large quark-gluon plasma droplets: the role of nucleon substructure
J. Scott Moreland, Jonah E. Bernhard, Weiyao Ke +1
We study the effects of nucleon substructure on bulk observables in proton-lead collisions at the LHC using Bayesian methodology. Substructure is added to the TRENTO parametric ini…
Determination of Quark-Gluon-Plasma Parameters from a Global Bayesian Analysis
Steffen A. Bass, Jonah E. Bernhard, J. Scott Moreland
The quality of data taken at RHIC and LHC as well as the success and sophistication of computational models for the description of ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions have adva…
Characterization of the initial state and QGP medium from a combined Bayesian analysis of LHC data at 2.76 and 5.02 TeV
Jonah E. Bernhard, J. Scott Moreland, Steffen A. Bass
We perform a global Bayesian analysis of a modern event-by-event heavy-ion collision model and LHC data at = 2.76 and 5.02 TeV. After calibration, the model simultaneousl…
Constraints on rapidity-dependent initial conditions from charged particle pseudorapidity densities and two-particle correlations
Weiyao Ke, J. Scott Moreland, Jonah E. Bernhard +1
We study the initial three-dimensional spatial configuration of the quark-gluon plasma produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions using centrality and rapidity-dependent measure…
Applying Bayesian parameter estimation to relativistic heavy-ion collisions: simultaneous characterization of the initial state and quark-gluon plasma medium
Jonah E. Bernhard, J. Scott Moreland, Steffen A. Bass +2
We quantitatively estimate properties of the quark-gluon plasma created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions utilizing Bayesian statistics and a multi-parameter model-to-data…
Hydrodynamic simulations of relativistic heavy-ion collisions with different lattice QCD calculations of the equation of state
J. Scott Moreland, Ron A. Soltz
Hydrodynamic calculations of ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions are performed using the iEBE-VISHNU 2+1D code with fluctuating initial conditions and three different parameter…
Alternative ansatz to wounded nucleon and binary collision scaling in high-energy nuclear collisions
J. Scott Moreland, Jonah E. Bernhard, Steffen A. Bass
We introduce TRENTO, a new parametric initial condition model for high-energy nuclear collisions based on eikonal entropy deposition via a "reduced thickness" function. The model s…
Imprinting Quantum Fluctuations on Hydrodynamic Initial Conditions
J. Scott Moreland, Zhi Qiu, Ulrich W. Heinz
Starting from the two-point covariance function derived in [1], we have developed a toy model to investigate the effect of gluonic fluctuations on the transverse energy profile pre…
Energy dependent growth of the nucleon and hydrodynamic initial conditions
Ulrich W. Heinz, J. Scott Moreland
Due to gluon saturation, the growth of the inelastic nucleon-nucleon cross section with increasing collision energy sqrt(s) results in a broadening of the nucleon's density distrib…
Viscosity from elliptic flow: the path to precision
Ulrich W. Heinz, J. Scott Moreland, Huichao Song
Using viscous relativistic hydrodynamics we show that systematic studies of the impact parameter dependence of the eccentricity scaled elliptic flow can distinguish between differe…
